Just in time for Halloween, Kentucky football is staring down its oldest and most terrifying demon: the backup quarterback.
Auburn head coach Hugh Freeze officially announced Friday that he is benching starting quarterback Jackson Arnold in favor of senior transfer Ashton Daniels.

The curse is real
